Princess Catharina-Amalia, Princess Alexia & Princess Ariane, Part 3 (Dec 2007-)

[LadyS]

I think a "laan" is usually an avenue where a "pad" is a road or street.

(just guessing from the similarities between Afrikaans and Dutch)

Laan is more like an avenue,a pad more like an alley..see...

Little Ariane turns one on thursday...

I want to know if they are going to do a photosession as they did when Alexia turned 2.

No birthday pics .. ?

[Princess_Beatrix]

They released Birthday pictures of Amalia and Alexi. Why not of Ariane?

[Aurora810]

Well, I was expecting to see some birthday pics. I'm a little disappointed. Possibly it's because there's a state visit that started today in the Netherlands? Maybe they will release some the day after. Yes, I'm still hopeful.

Did they release pictures of Amalia & Alexia's first birthdays? I figured they would do the same for Ariane.

I only hope we don't get a repeat of last year's October disappointment, when we didn't get pictures of the second birthdays for Emmanuel, Christian and Leonor. Hopefully we will get some good ones of Ariane, Isabella and Sofia since this is just their first. Although we might just see Isabella on the balcony for the queen's birthday next week. Hopefully we get to see Ariane later today!

Maybe we will get some, but I didn't expect any. I always thought that we got the picture for Alexia's first birthday because at that time there hadn't been pictures for quite a long time... Same with her second birthday, the do those photosessions, how often?, twice a year?, and the timing in midsummer was perfect.
We just saw so many pictures.... at Lech, Argentina...
So maybe it was just coincidence that we saw pictures/photosessions at the other birthdays. But if not.... Of course I won't complain if there will be pictures laters!

Obviously it is their choice and I respect their decision either way but I was expecting a photo. Purely because there has always been a release on the first birthday's and possibly a photoshoot which coincides with starting school or going on holidays. Even at Christmas there was a photoshoot in Argentina and then a release of new pictures.

She is the most beautiful of the three (so far) she is amazingly cute, thanks for the pix

[Rebafan81]

I also think Alexia is the prettiest of the three girls right now. Ariane looks different then the others so it is still hard to tell who she will look like. Amalia is very cute and I think has the best personality of the girls. All three little ones are so precious!!

[princess leonor]

Does anyone know if any pictures will be released on the occasion of Alexia's 3rd birthday this thursday, or will they just wait until the photoshoot in Italy?

But will it be tommorrow on Alexia's birthday, or just on a random day somewhere in the next few weeks when Willem and Maxima's schedules are calmer?
